Keylan is headed west.
Is this the only school that showed interest or something? I’d figured he would’ve landed somewhere better than this.
He might have fallen in love with the scenery out west. Also, the chance to be a big fish in a small pond.
Pacific is near Portland, OR. Same conference as Gonzaga and BYU.
It’s a small, private university. This past season they were 8-22. So he definitely will be big fish on a lousy team. I think they are big on academics. Bring a rain coat Keylan.
Confused, but I do not have all the information that Keylan had. I envision the portal working to go upward or laterally, not to a smaller conference with a losing team. I am sure there is a reason that I do not see like the others mentioned, scenery, weather, education opportunity etc.
I really liked this kid and he will be missed. He was making strides of improvement and has not hit his ceiling yet. I wish him success and if they Pacific) make the dance, I would like to see the Pokes meet them in a 4/13 or 5/12 match up in the first round.
